MAGICAL MASKS OFF THE HIGHSTREET

From multi-masking to sheet masks, home masks remain hugely popular but the new kids on the block are even more advanced and include jellies, balms, bubbles and innovative new rubber masks.

Crystal Clear Facelift, In A Box which work by mixing a powder formula with water to form a paste which is then applied all over the face avoiding the eyes and lips. Within a few minutes the paste will then dry to a rubbery consistency and after 30 minutes can easily be peeling off in one go. Rubber masks are not a gimmick and are actually great for sensitive skin types because the formula hardens so can be less irritating. £14.99 fromwww.crystalclear.co.uk

BeautyPro’s Detoxifying Foaming and Cleansing Sheet Mask with Activated Charcoal does exactly that. Smooth when applied, as soon as the ingredients hit the skin and become exposed to air they begin to create a bubbly froth.

The bubbling action also creates a micro massaging motion helping wiggle pores open and allowing the detoxifying charcoal and exfoliating fruit extracts get to work on every layer. The addition of rose water, lavender and chamomile will also rehydrate skin so you don’t have to deal with that taut, stretched sensation once you wipe away the bubbles.
